how do you delete a partition in leopard?

[speakerwizard]

Hi guys, ive never been a big user of disk utility, i know you can resize and delete partitions in leopard now. I have an unused extended partition on my boot disk, how do i now delete it with the new disk utility and retrieve the space? i couldnt find it in help or support site :S, thanks

i think it is through boot camp, but don't quote me on that.

no such luck bootcamp just says it can only work with a single partition, or merge a windows partition, but not an hfs. i assume its done with the restore function but not exactly sure how

select the partition in disk utility and hit the minus button

 

[speakerwizard]

don you mean the minus button under the raid tab? thats the only minus i can see but this isn't a raid setup?

But as always make sure you read any warnings and have a backup just in case

ah, stoopid me, selecting the partition, not the drive, doh, worked a treat, thanks
